The Hartford

Effective July 1, 2009, USU entered into a relationship with a new vendor, The Hartford, for life insurance, short-term disability, and long-term disability. What you may not be aware of are the additional services The Hartford provides to all benefit-eligible employees. The Hartford offers travel assistance, beneficiary assistance (to assist beneficiaries when a family member passes away), estate guidance, and a program called Ability Assist. This program is an employee assistance program (EAP). They can help you with financial issues, college planning, workplace stress, coworker interaction, and family support issues.
